Abstract. The article presents the results of studies on the evaluation of four sires of the Angus breed in terms of their own productivity and the quality of progeny, taking into account the selection trait of body type. Upon completion of the test, according to their own productivity of 88 bulls, 4 bulls with the highest complex indices were selected: Standard 3041 - 111.4, Otradny 3011 - 111.1, Bizon 3049 - 107.3, Suer’ 3011 - 103.4. More pronounced meat forms distinguished the last of them, the maximum score for this trait was 59 points and the minimum score was 15 points for body type. At the age of five, Suer’ performance was also lower than its peers: in live weight - by 5.3%, 3.4%, 0.9%, in height in the sacrum - 5.6%, 4.2%, 1.4% and along the length of the body - by 5.1%, 3.4%, 1.2%. The results of the evaluation of four sires in terms of the quality of progeny did not change the rating of Suer’ with the lowest complex index of 99.0. His sons were significantly ahead in terms of body type over Standard peers by 2.3% (P≤0.05) and 3.4% (P≤0.01) of the control group. At the same time, they were significantly inferior in terms of live weight by 8.9%, 4.7%, 0.7%, in terms of the intensity of the average daily increase to the descendants of the bulls of Standard and Otradnoye - by 21.7-11.1 %, in terms of the body type of the sons of the bulls of the Standard and Otradny - by 20.2% and 14.1% (Р≤0.001). Rather low rates of this measurement were reflected in the indices and a comprehensive assessment of the offspring and the sire. Breeding differential in progeny of improving sires Standard and Otradnoy in terms of live weight at the age of 8 months amounted to 2.4 kg and 12.2 kg, at 15 months - 54.8 kg and 24.2 kg, according to the average daily  gain  in  live  weight from 8 to 15 months - 240 g and 94 g, according to the severity of body type - 3 points and 1.6 points.
